February 18, 2015 · 0 Comments

The Shelburne Midget Rep Team, sponsored by Shelburne Home Hardware and Bob Currie Masonry, had a clean 3–0 sweep on Valentines Day weekend with a 7–1 final score in game 3 against Norwood, Ontario. This latest series win builds on the rep teams’ momentum after they put Mariposa out in 3 straight during the preliminaries in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association Championship Series.
This will mark the final year of SMHA play for a number of our Midgets including Dean and Jake Currie, Drew Downey, Nick Fines, Eric Johnson, Ty McCallum, Brandon Richardson and Lucas Ritchie. The balance of the full-time roster includes Stephen Falls, Isaac Fazackerley, Keith Gordanier, Darrin Janke, Chayse McCallum, Nathan Newmaster and Darren Taylor.
According to Head Coach Mike Glassford, “a number of these boys have played together for many years and the chemistry on this team is truly outstanding. They all share a deep passion and desire to win. We have the right combination of aggressive forwards backed by solid defense and stellar net-minding. As the final year of minor hockey play for many of these boys, they set their own goal to go all the way and our bench will do everything we can to assist them in getting there. Ultimately, it’s their deeply seated passion that can get them through” states Glassford. Assisting Glassford on the bench this year is younger brother Nick, Scott Holmes, Brian McBride and Dave Ritchie.
As the last Shelburne team left standing in the OMHA’s, the Midget Rep’s are expected to face South Bruce next with games expected to start sometime around the 22nd of February. South Bruce is currently up 2 in the quarter-finals against Blythe-Brussels.
Midget Rep is fast paced and exciting hockey and the OMHA Championship series offers the opportunity to see the best of the best in our home arena as they face off in pursuit of the Championship.
The Midget Rep’s want thank you for your continued support and they look forward to seeing (and hearing) as many fans out as possible as they attempt to next advance through the OMHA Semi-Finals and on to the finals!
The next round in the OMHA Play Down’s is expected to be scheduled prior to this weekend. Please refer to the SMHA web site regularly at shelburneminorhockey.com for updates.
